[RE-wrenches] Forward re: NABCEP Stamp

[Allan Sindelar]

Hi everyone, I think that Bill has summed it up very well. Stamps on plans generally imply the review of a duly recognized engineer. NABCEP Certification is not an equivalency to being a PE. I must say that I am pleased to hear the jurisdiction recognizes the professional accomplishment that comes with attaining NABCEP PV Installer Certification.  In the type of situation described I would recommend attaching a business card that includes the NABCEP Certified Installer logo, the installers name and certification number. Best wishes for a safe workplace. Ezra Ezra Auerbach Executive Director NABCEP -------- Original Message -------- Andrew and Troy,   While I can’t speak for NABCEP, I would expect that NABCEP should be very opposed to this type of use of their logo. NABCEP does not certify the work that a NABCEP certificant does. They only certify that the installer has met the obligations for certification. There is a HUGE difference between the two. NABCEP cannot, and should not, be held accountable for work that someone does in the field. A contactor’s work is covered by the state laws and the licenses required to perform that work in that state.   Just because a local jurisdictions thinks that getting a certification from NABCEP means something to the installation, does not mean that the information should be on the plan set. Information about the certification of the installer should be provided separately.   Don’t make a stamp, whatever you do.   Bill.
